11. Partitioning. Partitioning is very important, especially if you want to protect any data
currently on your hard disk. Select Partitioning. openSUSE recommends a partitioning
scheme. (If your disk is already partitioned, openSUSE tries to use that scheme.) You can
simply accept that scheme (choose Accept Proposal As-Is and click Next) or elect to create
a custom partition setup.
The Expert partitioning selection enables you to use a partitioning interface that is very
similar to Disk Druid. See the description of partitioning in Chapter 7 for information on
partitioning your hard disk. If you ever plan to move your partitions around with a tool
such as Partition Magic, you should assign your Linux partition to the ext3 file system
type. (If you are an expert and want to use the fdisk command, press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to
get to a shell, run fdisk, and then press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to the graphical installer.)
12. Software. Select Software to see a list of packages available to install on your hard disk.
The openSUSE install CD offers various groups of software, including graphical software,
word processing and document production software, applications for software development,
and much more.
